Posted 06 April 2010 - 11:34 PM
Can't afford to keep the little fella after all.
Sale page is here.

Classic Mini for sale
£1500
Taxed & Tested
Blue, 1995, Rover Mini Sprite, 96,000 Miles, 1275cc - Single Point Injection, Manual, Petrol, MOT- End of October 2010, TAX - End of October 2010.
Amazingly fun little car, but Noisey and Bumpy.
Cheap on petrol about £18 to fill up to the top, and seems to last ages, 90 miles from Plymouth to Exeter and back will still see half a tank of fuel left, and remember a tiny tank only takes £18 to fill up.
Have been forced to fit wider arches to the car. Only rears have been done.
13x8" Alleycat wheels with 195/45/13 Tyres.
Fixed driver fibreglass bucket seat with 3" Sabelt Harness. (Will remove and put back to standard on request.)
Removed rear carpet to accommodate seat.
Smoothed Bumpers, Boot, Bonnet, Passenger Mirror.
Recent new rear subframe.
Being injection, it's reliable and always starts without issues in the cold or hot.
Recent brand new:
1 x set of 4 GAZ gas shock absorbers (Fronts fitted).
R/H door handle.
Engine weather shield.
Exhaust Cat back Stainless System, the classic MP40.
Stainless steel locking petrol tank cap new key.
Locking strip windscreen rear - Chrome.
Black 11'' wiper blades.
Brand New Not Fitted:
1 x set of 4 GAZ gas shock absorbers (Rears not fitted).
1 x Mini Sport Adjusta Ride Kit (Front & Rear)
1 x Mini Sport Adjustable Tie Rods.
1 x Mini Sport 1.5° Negative Camber Bottom Arms.
1 x set of 4 poly bottom arm bushes.
1 x set of 4 poly tie rod bushes .
Seal windscreen rubber - Mk3/4/5 - Front.
Rover Mini L/H door handle.
Locking strip windscreen Front - Chrome.
Seal Locking strip end finisher clip.
Play Mini stainless exhaust de-Cat link pipe - large bore.
Regular rear number plate, to replace small one if you wish.
5" Miglia style front arches need fitting.
Pictures tell a thousand words, so I'm showing the good and the bad.
Obviously the photos with the small arches are taken before I fitted the new rear ones.
It's perfectly clear that this car isn't a minter. So love it as it is, or treat it to a respray.
The bottoms of doors are rusty, along with A panels, and bits here and there.
I'm a student at Uni and due to assignments I don't have time for, or can afford the little bits that would make this car brilliant.
As always, this car doesn't come without it's own share of issues, or areas to look at. Depending on your level of skills, these could easily be sorted in one day. Sadly I don't have the skills needed, and can't afford to pay a garage to do the work, so this is the result.
I need to get an MOT stamp this week, after getting a VDRS for having wheels sticking outside of the arches. New arches fitted, so just waiting on the stamp
